Are you sure the Ford loan was govt-backed? I thought they had secured a bunch of private funding before the meltdown because they HAD been in such desperate straits.

rs, uh, feel free to look up the word "fascist" in a dictionary. As in the opposite of a liberal. So, in your bizarre world, the President is not a liberal but the complete opposite?

As a driver of a 2009 Ford Fusion (really my wife's car) and a 2012 Volt, you're so far off it's hilarious. But what would I know, I only drive both cars, unlike you.

And, finally, wat part of GM making record profits bothers you the most? Is it the fact that the only reason Ford didn't need government aid was it was actually in the worst financial situation and had to get outside funding before the SH## hit the fan? Yeah, getting lucky means far less in my world than yours, but then again, I hope all companies are profitable. Do you hate American Airlines and other companies that have gone bankrupt or is your bitterness a little more specific... Just sad...

Meanwhile, Ford has not been bailed out by a fascist government scheme and has quietly been building hybrids and EVs that put this car to shame. Congrats, G(overnment)Motors

@ Max Reid,

Well Toyota at one time did make the statement that they wanted the Prius to be their #1 or #2 selling car in their lineup.

Who wants to buy an overpriced car that will cost more in the long run to operate?

2,289 Volts sold - Great News
Meanwhile Prius 28,711 units outselling Corollas 28,289 units.

So Prius is #2 in Toyota's lineup with only Camry ahead.
Camry also sold many hybrids. So did Lexus make.
